I agree with this. I love Kog'Maw but quit playing him because I just can't land my ult when i'm on purple side during laning. It just shouldn't feel like an advantage being on blue side for anyone. I thought if possible, rotate the map to be horizontal. I wouldn't know how hard it would be to do this but would be greatly appreciated. As far as unlocking the camera, I can't. I personally can't play while having to control the camera.

A rotating screen sounds easy, but it's a whole lot more difficult than you would think.

LoL is a 2D game, a rotating camera requires a 3D game.

What's the difference?

Right now champions are essentially flat entities, their skeletons and skins only extend as far as the camera can see. making the game 3D would mean that everything would have to be completely re-made, a lot of work, especially considering we get a new champ every 2 weeks.

I would assume that doing a cross axis mirror would be the easiest way to do this, but I really don't know how easy/feasible that would be.

There goes your argument.

I play kog as well, and work around the awkward viewpoint. I generally either mid or lane top if on purple, mainly because I'm used to said lanes. However, I am also used to unlocking and dragging the camera because of Living Artillery spam, so it doesn't matter that much. On the other hand... blue seems to be winning more in my experience.
Not saying that it's not an issue, just not impossible to deal with. I agree with the axis mirror idea, but it would be complicated. The jungles are not symmetrical in layout.

Yea I understand you, Guess the rotating screen is out of question then? Thought I would put it out there because I have no clue how hard it would be for a "cross axis mirror" because I don't know riot coding possibility's or server capability's or how hard actually doing it would be but I hope it's possible. (If not there is always the 3rd "easy" option add more zoom because zoom is already in the game)

Even though it might be possible to deal with, There shouldn't be something extra to deal with because the team you where randomly chosen to be put on.

I agree Mid lane is best for purple because you can use the bottom left corner is usable hole way though the lane.
-But I prefer Bot over Top, Because your most at a disadvantage in vertical parts of the lane so at Bot if you push past your towers you don't have to worry anymore, only while defending you towers it's a problem.
-At Top your alright Tower hugging but when you wanna push or use the bushes at top you cannot see where your going or what you doing.

I recommend unlocking the camera.... it's something you NEED to get used to to get better. Being able to move the camera allows you to see longer range shots. Believe me. the faster you get beyond Camera the better.

It's not like chess where one side has a small advantage due to first move =P this is just overcome by something you'll do eventually.

I wasn't arguing anything... simply stating my experiences with OP's topic.

In any case, having more camera options would be nice, especially something closer to a birds-eye view.

Oh,

I should mention, I read somewhere that the purple team has a slight Elo advantage over the blue team to help compensate for the camera issue

i have this problem too, i use karthus with a locked camera and being purple is hard, i tough of a solution in case that rotating isnt possible, give us the option to move the interface to the top, that would solve it

I agree completely. It is actually a HUGE disadvantage. When I first started playing I refused to go top if I spawned purple because I hated the fact that my HUD would hide the tower, didn't yet have spacing down very well and I'd often harass only to eat a tower shot.
